I can only expect that for some.... reaching the office of the Presidency is like the ultimate "safety zone."
Abuse of "presidential immunity" aside, the office itself must be protected, regardless of the faults of a particular political player.
I doubt that our current president will ever stand accused... certain elements of the entrenched political-appointee world would themselves be greatly threatened if that were to happen... (not to mention former presidents and their own shenanigans.)
Truth is, the machinery of "publicity" and "political theater" make some believe it is all about the person in the office. It is not so in principle. Only in the theater.
Will Joe Biden face some kind of "justice" for whatever he may have done? That's up to the institution of justice... (ahem.)
Will the President?... well, the president is an office, not a person. The office of the president is not there to do what the person occupying the office may have done.
